Well, it’s March 2008, and many months have passed since this incident.

Mike Z. kept J Hackney and in fact, gave him a promotion… seems to me it’s not what you do, it’s who you know.

BTW, stocks are at the lowest level since.. 1982? or somewhere around there…

IMHO, M.Z seemed like a nice person, until you realize he will be getting $10M in bonus for his performance of 2007, and in parallel, he needs to layoff 2100 people so his margins work out…

Things that make you go. hmmmmm

Look at this article. It really measures the performance of Operations at Nortel, the area JJ ran before he was promoted to Pres. Not too good…must have been something other than performance that got him the promotion.

Fire him? His CEO buddy promoted him!

Astounding and beyond belief? Why? Surprises seem to be the norm than exception at Nortel.

“â€¦grow up and live with itâ€¦”

Gee, how to respond? What Would The Joel Say?

“We’ll do whatever we want.”

When Joel echoes his masters Own It! he pronounces it PWN it!

Your newest bosses might not be into creative accounting, but I expect they will inevitably act out their leadership fantasies a la their new business partners and mentors at Microsoft everytime NT stock goes up a cent or two.

JH is a Pharaoh. His managerment style is “My way or no way”. It’s not surprise.
MikeZ is a COO. He never ever be a CEO. He knows how to save money, but earn money.

Joel is a loser and should be fired. Us bottom dwellers are indeed even more cynical than ever before. Mike Z seems to be a lot of hot air.

Ethical at Nortel jajajaja

How about when big Z took that 11 million dollars with the approval of the “Board of Disdirectors” when he violated the exit agrement from Motorola.
